Ink Cartridge Precautions

Warning: Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not
allow children to drink from or handle the cartridges.
The ink cartridges are designed to contain any excess ink and
prevent leakage. Careful handling is recommended, however. Do
not touch the supply port of the ink cartridge or its surrounding
area.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and
water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
If discomfort or vision problems continue after a thorough flushing,
see a doctor immediately.
Caution: Don't remove the cartridge label, or ink will leak.
Don't remove the green IC chip from the cartridge. Installing a
cartridge without an IC chip can damage the RX580. Avoid touching
the green IC chip, as this can damage the ink cartridge.
If you remove an ink cartridge temporarily, protect the ink supply
port on the bottom of the cartridge from dirt and dust. Place it in a
small box, or, if you have the original packaging, return it to its own
box.
Store ink cartridges in the same environment as the RX580. Stand
the cartridges upright; the label identifying the color should be on
top.
Note: You cannot continue printing or copying with one ink
cartridge expended, even if the other cartridges still contain ink.
Before printing, replace the expended cartridge.
This RX580 uses ink cartridges equipped with IC chips that monitor
the amount of ink used by each cartridge. Cartridges are usable
even if they are removed and reinserted. Some ink is consumed
each time cartridges are inserted, however, because the RX580
automatically checks their reliability.
If you remove a cartridge that is low (for which you have received
an "Ink low" message) and you temporarily install a new cartridge
in its place, you cannot reuse the low cartridge.
Ink is consumed during the following operations: print head
cleaning, self-cleaning (performed when the RX580 is turned on),
and ink charging (when an ink cartridge is installed).

Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges

Note: Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to
install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.
Caution: Leave the expended cartridge installed until you have
obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head
nozzles may dry out. To ensure the best results, use genuine Epson
ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may cause ink
spills or other damage to your RX580 not covered by Epson's
warranty.
1. Make sure the RX580 is turned on, the CD/DVD tray is
